It is intended to help end the structural exclusion of transvestites, transsexuals and transgender people.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina&#8217;s President Alberto Fern\u00e1ndez signed a decree on 4 September setting a nationwide recruitment quota for trans* people &#8211; 1% of public sector jobs are to be filled by transvestites, transsexuals and transgender people.<\/p>\n<p>To meet the quota, P\u00e1gina 12 said a register should be set up. Transvestites, transsexuals and transgender people who wish to work in the public sector can register voluntarily. In order to qualify for one of the jobs, no change in gender entry must have taken place. It should also be possible to reserve jobs for transvestites, transsexuals and transgender people who have not yet completed their training.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CESnrv9gjC_\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

This is because Argentina&#8217;s largest province, the province of Buenos Aires, introduced a quota of 1% of civil servants to be transgender, transsexual or transvestite as early as 2015. However, it has never been fully implemented, with only a few municipalities trying to fill the posts accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, LGBTIQ* organisations in Argentina celebrated the decision. The organisation Mujeres Trans Argentina, which campaigns for the rights of transgender people in Argentina, personally thanked Alberto Fern\u00e1ndez and Elizabeth G\u00f3mez Alcort, the Minister for Women, Gender and Diversity. The decision is a historic step for Argentina.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-wrap\">\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<p><script async=\"1\" defer=\"1\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/de_DE\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v8.0\" nonce=\"TmM75KHE\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MUJERESTRANSARGENTINA1\/posts\/3202293479867678\" data-width=\"750\">\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MUJERESTRANSARGENTINA1\/posts\/3202293479867678\" class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\">\n<p>CELEBRAMOS ESTA DECISI\u00d3N  POL\u00cdTICA QUE  ACOMPA\u00d1A EL RECLAMO DE LAS ORGANIZACIONES SOCIALES EN EL RECONOCIMIENTO DE&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Gepostet von <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MUJERESTRANSARGENTINA1\/\">Mujeres Trans Argentina<\/a> am&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MUJERESTRANSARGENTINA1\/posts\/3202293479867678\">Donnerstag, 3.
